Across 15 South Africa health care startup rounds, the biggest disclosed amount is Ingress Healthcare’s $6M on 2020-04-16, which is far above the rest of the disclosed figures shown (most disclosed rounds sit at $1M or below, with only a few at $1M such as VitruvianMD $1M on 2023-08-17 and Quro Medical $1M on 2023-05-09). The list is also time-clustered near the top: 2023–2025 account for the majority of entries, with multiple rounds between 2023-05 and 2023-12 (e.g., Quro Medical on 2023-05-09, Welo Health on 2023-09-18, and Jembi on 2023-12-20).
Stage and disclosure patterns are uneven. “Series Unknown” appears on 8 of the 15 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear on 3 of the 15, leaving only a subset of rounds with clear dollar figures (e.g., PsyLabs $500K on 2025-04-15 vs. Impulse Biomedical’s undisclosed round on 2025-05-14). Geographically, Cape Town is the most frequent listed base (e.g., Impulse Biomedical 2025-05-14, Jembi 2023-12-20, and Strove 2022-09-01), with Johannesburg also recurring (e.g., VitruvianMD 2023-08-17 and Aviro Health 2021-09-08) and one entry labeled Gauteng (Quro Medical on 2023-05-09).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how does it stack up against other disclosed amounts in the same table?
Ingress Healthcare’s $6M (2020-04-16) is the largest disclosed amount shown and materially exceeds the rest, where several disclosed rounds are $1M or less (for example, VitruvianMD $1M on 2023-08-17 and Quro Medical $1M on 2023-05-09).
Do the recent rounds cluster into a narrow time window, or are they spread out evenly across years?
The 15 most recent rows are heavily concentrated toward 2023–2025, including multiple 2023 entries from 2023-05-09 (Quro Medical) through 2023-12-20 (Jembi). The list also extends back to 2020-04-16 (Ingress Healthcare), creating a long historical tail compared with the dense 2023–2025 period.
Which stage labels dominate, and how much of the dataset lacks stage/amount clarity?
“Series Unknown” accounts for 8 of 15 rows (e.g., PsyLabs on 2025-04-15 and HealthDart on 2023-06-20). Amount disclosure is also uneven: 3 of 15 are marked “undisclosed” (Impulse Biomedical 2025-05-14, Syked 2024-10-03, and Play Sense 2023-05-22), while the remaining rows include disclosed dollar figures.
Are there location patterns, such as Cape Town and Johannesburg appearing disproportionately?
Cape Town appears repeatedly across entries (Impulse Biomedical 2025-05-14, Jembi 2023-12-20, Strove 2022-09-01), while Johannesburg also recurs (VitruvianMD 2023-08-17 and Aviro Health 2021-09-08). There is also a Gauteng-labeled base for Quro Medical on 2023-05-09.
Are there outliers besides the largest round amount—either unusually recent dates or unusually large/compact disclosed ranges?
For disclosed amounts, Ingress Healthcare’s $6M (2020-04-16) is the clear magnitude outlier, while the next-highest disclosed values shown include Strove’s $360K (2022-09-01) and LocumBase’s “undisclosed” status on 2022-09-20. On recency, the newest entry is Impulse Biomedical (2025-05-14) but its amount is undisclosed, whereas the immediately preceding disclosed round is PsyLabs at $500K (2025-04-15).
